Christmas has always been a wonderful time of the year for me. I so much cherish family and friends and it is a wonderful time of year for giving and letting people know you care about them. I have always been fond of "live" Christmas trees even though it is probably a bad thing to do to so many wonderful trees. Now, since my Dad passed last year, Christmases have taken on new meaning. I do not really feel we can celebrate as we used to because my Dad is not there and our family gatherings will never be the same. However, it is a good time to remember those we love and to bring joy to others. The warmth and love of the Christmas spirit will still go on.

hello momiecat, Any occassion particularly Christmas without our parents presence is really far different. For they are the main reason why all of the family, relatives and friends are going home and celebrate the holiday. Indeed life must go on and we must celebrate it to share the love and fun to the rest of the family, relatives and friends only in a much different way already. Their loving memories will be remembered and cherrish for as long as we're living.

How sweet your thoughts are and I appreciate them. Life does go on, even if we think it should stop. I am particularly sentimental this weekend because it is my first Father's Day without my Dad. I will be thinking of and cherishing the fond memories I have, but I also want to remind everyone who still has their Dad to love him and not take him for granted. Sometimes you do not know what you have until he/she is gone. Then it is too late. Cherish them now!

Hey, Yea I love it when it is Christmas, I don't really know why. But I just love it when everyone is in that mood altogether, it really inspires me. To have all the houses decorated and everything, it is really great. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!
